Permalink | 11 notes "I’m looking for a book, he told the librarian, who had cared for the Trachimbrod novels since she was a girl, and was the only citizen to have read them all. My great-grandfather wrote it.
What was his name? the librarian asked.
Safranbrod, but I think he wrote it under a pseudonym.
What was the name of his book?
I can’t remember the name. He used to talk about it all the time. He’d tell me stories from it to put me to sleep.
What’s it about? she asked.
It’s about love.
She laughed. They’re all about love."
— Everything is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer
